Omnicare Inc. appointed John Workman as chief executive of the nursing-home pharmacy-company, where he had been serving as interim chief since June.

He succeeds John Figueroa, who when resigning from the post he had held for 17 months said he had accomplished his goal of making Omnicare "a more operations-driven company focused on customer service."
